Captain of Her Heart – Chapter Six

Who could have known their passion would finally be consummated that evening? As his promise of romance had turned out to be two tickets for the Challenge Cup quarterfinal between Leeds and St Helens. Yet they say that love will conquer all and so it was to be for them.
